Tomoe: “…Hi” She replied awkwardly. She struggled with a loss of what to say when Hiboshi’s voice floated up the stairs to the attic room beckoning that it was time for breakfast. Thankful for a reprieve from the silence Tomoe started towards the door. “So…” she said to Ko, “Do you want to explain to Hiboshi or should I? She’s gotta be pretty confused considering she’s talked to both me and Maora.” “You go ahead; I still don’t understand what’s going on anyway.” Ko whispered as they began to descend the stairs. Shortly after, Tomoe noticed Ko’s presence disappeared. She walked into the kitchen to find Hiboshi setting the table. “Ohayo, I need to explain some things to you.”
Hiboshi turned so she was facing her, squinted at her eyes, then spoke “You’re Tomoe right now, correct?”
“Yes.”
“So do you know what’s going on? Like why Maora is in your body.”
“I’ve figured out enough…” Tomoe went on to explain everything she knew while Hiboshi silently waited.
“Wow…” Hiboshi breathed, shocked into near silence for a moment. “That is something, well eat your breakfast, then I need your help at the bar. It’s been extra busy lately, so much so that I’ve been thinking of hiring again.”
“Again, as in you’ve hired someone recently?”
“Yes, she’s kind and really young but she’s a hard worker…” Hiboshi stopped herself before she started ranting. “Well anyway, sit down and eat!” Hiboshi said sitting down herself. “We have work to do.”
